Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. An invisible sliding door trim structure according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a luggage trim provided at one side of a vehicle body opening part being opened or closed by a door and a reception space extended in a horizontal direction; a sliding trim provided at an inner side of the door and slid along the reception space of the luggage trim when opening or closing by the door; and a rotating trim provided to be rotatable with respect to the sliding trim when opening or closing.
Referring to
The sliding trim 40 covers an invisible slider 10 sliding the door 2 at when opening or closing the door 2 and is fixed to the invisible slider 10. When the door 2 is in a closed state, the sliding trim 40, which is positioned at the center of a door trim 60, serves as an arm rest (see
The sliding trim 40 is connected to the invisible slider 10 and covers the invisible slider 10, which includes a slider rail 12 therein (see
The invisible slider 10 slides the door 2 to open or close the vehicle body opening part 15. More specifically, the invisible slider 10 includes a first slider 18 fixed to the vehicle body, the slider rail 12 slid with respect to the first slider 18, a second slider 19, and a driver 17 as illustrated in
As shown in
The slider rail 12 is slidably mounted on the mounting bracket of the first slider 18. The slider rail 12 receives the two mounting brackets and rollers to roll-contact with the rollers and slides with respect to the first slider 18.
In order to allow the slider rail 12 to be slid, the slider rail 12 is provided with a driver 17 for generating a driving force and a second slider 19 for sliding the slider rail 12 with respect to the first slider 18.
The driver 17 includes a motor and a sector gear connected to the motor. The motor is supported by a motor bracket provided in the slider rail 12, and the sector gear is connected to the motor to transfer the driving force from the motor to a rotator.
The second slider 19, which is a component for sliding the slider rail 12 with respect to the first slider 18, includes a drum and a wire. The drum is connected to the motor to receive the driving force from the motor. The wire winds around the drum and also around a pulley fixed to the slider rail 12 to be placed between the drum and the pulley. Therefore, when the drum is rotated by the driving force from the motor, the wire is wound and unwound to slide the slider rail 12 with respect to the first slider 18.
The second slider 19 is connected to and covered by the sliding trim 40 to slide together with second slider 19 at the time of opening or closing the door. In an embodiment of present invention, as shown in
The sliding trim 40 is connected to the invisible slider 10 operating together with the slider rail 12, such that it slides with respect to the luggage trim 50. The sliding trim 40 is disposed inside of the reception space 51 of the luggage trim 50 when opening the door 2 and is withdrawn from the reception space 51 when closing the door 2.
The rotating trim 30 is provided to be rotatable with respect to the sliding trim 40 according to the opening or closing operation of the door 2. The rotating trim 30 covers the rotator 22 rotating the door 2 at the time of the opening or closing operation of the door 2, and is fixed to the rotator 22 to be rotated together.
The rotator 22 connects the invisible slider 10 to the door 2 and rotates the door 2 when opening or closing the door 2. More specifically, the rotator 22 connects the slider rail 12 to the door 2 and receives the driving force from the driver 17 at the time of opening or closing the door 2 to rotate the door 2. More specifically, the rotator 22 has a six-bar link structure in which one side is connected with the invisible slider 10 and the other side is fixed to the door 2.
Referring to
The rotator 22 is covered by the rotating trim 30, which is connected to the rotator 22 to be rotated together at the time of opening or closing the door. In the present embodiment, link nut coupling holes 33 (See
The rotating trim 30 preferably has an empty inner portion in order to cover the rotator 22 and an outer portion in a smooth curved line and is connected with the rotator 22 to thereby be rotated with respect to the sliding trim 40 when opening or closing the door 2.
Here, the rotating trim 30 is provided with a link hole 32 so that rotation of the rotator 22 is not hindered by the rotating trim 30. The link hole 32 is formed to be lengthily perforated from a front end portion adjacent to the door 2 in a length direction of the rotating trim 30.
The rotating trim 30 is overlapped with the sliding trim 40. More specifically, an end portion of the sliding trim 40 is overlapped with the rotating trim while enclosing an outer side of the rotating trim 30 to prevent spacing between the rotating trim 30 and the sliding trim 40 due to rotation of the rotating trim 30 with respect to the sliding trim 40 according to the opening or closing of the door, thereby preventing an internal structure from being exposed.
In addition, one end portion of the rotating trim 30 overlapped with the sliding trim 40 is provided with an overlapped part 31 so that the rotating trim 30 is easily rotated with respect to the sliding trim 40. The overlapped part 31 is a part overlapped with the sliding trim 40 as the rotating trim 30 is rotated together with the rotation of the rotator 22. The overlapped part 31 is overlapped with or withdrawn from the sliding trim 40 formed to enclose the outer side of the rotating trim 30 according to the rotation of the rotating trim 30. The overlapped part 31 has an arc shape in which it is protruded outwardly. This is to allow the rotating trim 30 to be smoothly operated with respect to the sliding trim 40 when the rotating trim 30 is rotated together with the rotation of the rotator 22. As shown in
The rotation guide part 41, which is disposed at the end portion of the sliding trim 40 so as to have an inclined angle, as shown in
An operation of the invisible sliding door trim structure will be described. The motor of the driver 17 is rotated in order to open or close the door 2, and the sector gear and the drum receiving the driving force from the motor are also rotated. Therefore, the main arm 23 is rotated by the sector gear, and the first to third links 24, 25, and 26 are moved by the rotation of the main arm 23 to rotate the door 2. The rotating trim 30 is also rotated together with the first to third links 24 to 25. The overlapped part 31 of the rotating trim 30 is rotated while being withdrawn from an inner side of the sliding trim 40 in a state in which it is inserted. Therefore, the rotating trim 30 forms an angle of 80 to 100 degrees with respect to the sliding trim 40.
In addition, the wire winds or unwinds as the drum rotates, and the slider rail 12 is slid with respect to the slider 18 by a length at which the wire is wound or unwound. Therefore, as the slider rail 12 is slid, the entire door 2 is slid. At the same time, the body bracket 13 provided on the slider rail 12 is slid. Therefore, the sliding trim 40 connected to the body bracket 13 is also slid together with the body bracket 13 to thereby be inserted into the reception space 51 of the luggage trim 50.
Likewise, when the door 2 is being closed, as the slider rail 12 is slid, the entire door 2 is slid in a direction opposite to a direction of being opened. At the same time, the body bracket 13 provided on the slider rail 12 is slid. Therefore, the sliding trim 40 connected to the body bracket 13 is also slid together with the body bracket 13 to thereby be withdrawn from the reception space 51 of the luggage trim 50. After the sliding trim 40 is slid, the rotator 22 is rotated in order to close the door 2, and the rotating trim 30 is also rotated with respect to the sliding trim 40 together with the rotator 22. Therefore, the overlapped part 31 of the rotating trim 30 is inserted into the inner side of the sliding trim 40. In this case, the overlapped part 31 is supported by the rotation guide part 41 of the sliding trim 40 so as not to be further rotated. Therefore, the sliding trim 40 and the rotating trim 30 form an angle of 165 to 195 degrees therebetween.
As set forth above, an invisible sliding door trim that is capable of improving an appearance and overcoming a design restriction problem of a sliding door according to the prior art and is appropriate for an invisible sliding door is used, thereby making it possible to cover the movement according to a moving trajectory of the invisible sliding door simultaneously covering an interior of the invisible sliding door.
Although the present disclosure has been described with reference to the exemplary embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, it is only illustrative and various exemplary embodiments are possible. Therefore, the scope of the present disclosure is to be defined by the claims.
